What a great fall treat. I eat mine as is, but a scoop of ice cream would really top this off. I love the smell of the apples and cinnamon throughout the house.
Ingredients:
3 apples of your choice (I picked Gala)
1/4 cup of instant oats
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1 tablespoon of cinnamon
3 pats of butter
3 dabs of caramel (I used the Dulce de leche I made)
Wash your apples really really good. I used a citrus juicer to take the core out of my apples and then trimmed around the sides and bottom with a paring knife. I wanted to be all about the apples, so I didn't hallow it out too much. Just enough to make sure I got the core out.
Mix your oats, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Pack this mixture in your apples.
Place a pat of butter on the top of the mixture.
Place the apples in your slow cooker and if you have any left over oat mixture, sprinkle it on top of the butter.
Cover and cook on low for about 3 hours. If you wanted to add a little water to the bottom you could, but I can't resist opening the lid, the condensation from the lid defiantly drips down to the bottom of the slow cooker to meet that need.
I check to see if it is done to my desire, I like the apples soft but not mushy, so mine took about 3 hours to cook. I test it by inserting a fork into the sides of the apples.
I then added a dab of Dulce de leche that is in my refrigerator and place the lid on the slow cooker and let the Dulce de leche warm up a bit, for me that was about 5 minutes, I couldn't take it anymore, I had to eat one.
There you go, cut open, serve with ice cream, maybe add some chocolate, your call.
Enjoy,
Debra
